[Office of Governor Gavin Newsom]
Lauren C. Bowers, 42, of Rancho Cordova, has been appointed to serve as a Judge in the El Dorado County Superior Court.
Bowers has served as a Deputy County Counsel at the El Dorado County Counsel’s Office since 2013. She was an Associate at the Law Office of Dale S. Wilson from 2005 to 2013 and an Adjunct Professor at the University of the Pacific, McGeorge School of Law from 2007 to 2009.
Bowers earned a Juris Doctor degree from the University of the Pacific, McGeorge School of Law.
Bowers is a Democrat.
She fills the vacancy created by the retirement of Judge Warren C. Stracener [Warren C. Stracener was a judge on the El Dorado County Superior Court. He was appointed in December 2010 by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger].
Why did Stracener not finish his term, and thus allow a non-county resident to be appointed ?
Are appointments of judges from out-of-county lawful ?
When will the election for this position be held ?
If she runs, will she have to live in the county then ?
